# Reading Files
Reading files is a common task in PHP and it provides a range of functions for this purpose. You can use the `fopen()` function with the 'r' mode to open a file for reading. The `fgets()` function lets you read a file line by line, while `fread()` reads a specified number of bytes. For reading the entire file in one go, use `file_get_contents()`. Remember to always close the file after you're done with `fclose()`.
Here's a small example using `fgets()`:
$file = fopen("example.txt", "r");
if ($file) {
while (($line = fgets($file)) !== false) {
echo $line;
}
fclose($file);
} else {
echo 'Error opening file';
}
